The Emmy Award–winning screenwriter “examines spine-tingling tales in chapters called ‘The Beliefs,’ ‘The Law,’ ‘The Experts’ and ‘The Witches’” (Bristol Herald Courier). While the Salem witch trials get the most notoriety, Virginia’s witchcraft history dates back many years before that . . . Colonial Virginians shared a common belief in the supernatural with their northern neighbors. While the witchcraft mania that swept through Salem, Massachusetts, in 1692 was significant, fascination with it has tended to overshadow the historical records of other persecutions throughout early America. The 1626 case of Joan Wright, the first woman to be accused of witchcraft in British North America, began Virginia’s own witch craze. Utilizing surviving records, author, local historian and screenwriter Carson Hudson narrates these fascinating stories.

Witchcraft in Early North America investigates European, African, and Indian witchcraft beliefs and their expression in colonial America. Alison Games's engaging book takes us beyond the infamous outbreak at Salem, Massachusetts, to look at how witchcraft was a central feature of colonial societies in North America. Her substantial and lively introduction orients readers to the subject and to the rich selection of documents that follows. The documents—some of which have never been published previously—include excerpts from trials in Virginia, New Mexico, and Massachusetts; accounts of outbreaks in Salem, Abiquiu (New Mexico), and among the Delaware Indians. This fascinating topic and the book's broad geographic and chronological coverage make this book ideally suited for readers interested in new approaches to colonial history and the history of witchcraft.

It wasn't that long ago that most Americans believed in demons and witches, and demonic manifestations. If something was going wrong in your society - drought, plague, disease, crop failure, war - how much easier it was to blame it on the devil, rather than taking any responsibility as an individual or a society. And if one was going to track down witches, one didn't really want them to be able to mount a defense. Thus, "spectral evidence" became useful, since there was no defense against it, and it was solely at the initiative of the accuser. There were witch trials in Connecticut, Virginia, and Massachusetts - and in Spanish New Mexico, for good measure. Most of the trials ended up in some executions. This book takes a brief look at "Witchcraft in Colonial America", the persecution of which didn't end until the 18th century. The primary focus is on the Salem Witch Trials of 1692/93, which was the greatest - and essentially last - example of witch trials. The book contains 37 illustrations.
